The smaller the significance

level, the smaller the likelihood that the difference is due to chance. Variables Statistical significance does not guarantee the result is substantive or The items from the NSSE survey appear in the left column in the same order and wording important.

SAMECOLL a All statistics are weighted by gender, enrollment status, and institutional size. b The 95% confidence interval for the population mean is equal to the sample mean plus/minus the product of 1.96 times the standard error of the mean. c A measure of the average amount individual scores deviate from the mean of all the scores in the distribution. IPEDS: 131520 d Degrees of freedom used to compute the t-tests. Values differ from the total Ns due to weighting and the equal variances assumption. e Statistical significance represents the probability that the difference between the mean of your institution and that of the comparison group occurred by chance.

Statistical significance represents the probability that the difference between the mean of your institution and that of the comparison group occurred by chance. f. Effect size is calculated by subtracting the comparison group mean from the school mean, then dividing the result by the pooled standard deviation.

g. Response set is categorical.

Frequency Distributions August 2009

Interpreting the Frequency Distributions Report

Sample Weighting The Frequency Distributions report is based on information from all randomly selected Weights adjusting for gender, enrollment status, and institutional size are students for both your institution and your comparison institutions. Targeted oversamples applied to the percentage column (%) of this report. Weights are computed and other non-randomly selected students are not included in this report. separately for first-year students and seniors. Weighted results present a

more accurate representation of your institution and comparison group Variables students. Only the column percents are weighted. The counts are the actual The items from the NSSE survey appear in the left column in the same order and wording number of respondents. Because the counts are unweighted and the column as they appear on the instrument. percentages are weighted, you will not be able to calculate the column
